Profile

 

Since 1885 Costa's have been an integral part of people's lives the globe over. Costa's began by exporting the spices of the orient, flavours evocative of the exotic east, to Portugal and its colonies in far flung recesses of the globe. The spice trade soon grew to encompass the export of an ubiquitous fruit that made its indelible mark on discerning palates. The mango in fact is not indigenous to India. The Portuguese imported strains into India from Brazil when they noticed the climatic similarities in the two countries. Costa's made the Alphonso perhaps the most popular fruit in the world. Today more than a hundred years since Costa's began exporting the mango, it is considered to be one of the tastiest fruits in the world.

 

From spices and mangoes, Costa's began to diversify early in the century into packaging canned foods and notably fish products which Goa is so well known for. Frozen foods have also become a popular segment of Costa's range. Recently, Goan specialties, sweets like Dodal and Bebinca followed suit along with Italian specialties.

 

From putting Goan cuisine on the world map to becoming Goa's largest food processing company has been a matter of course considering Costa's have been pioneers in the field. Constantly on the look out for new products and processes to upgrade the same, their range is today a veritable culinary smorgasbord. Not directly evident are their packaging techniques that give their products a shelf life of two years without the use of any chemicals or preservatives.

Vinicola, one of the leading manufacturers of table wines in India has been an associate company of Costa's established in 1970. From choicest vineyards come a host of wines that are expertly matured with excellent aroma and body. Vinicola is also the sole supplier of sacramental wines all over India.


Propelled by the need for quality housing Costa's diversified into construction and development of prime real estate, along with Venusta Builders, an associate firm of Costa's which was formed in 1990. Unlike most development firms Costa's objective became two fold. Besides utilising the very best construction materials that would ensure durable homes, Costa's wish to retain the unmistakable flavour of Goan architecture, replete with embellishments like stucco tiled roofs, gables and sweeping verandahs.

 

The scale of building activity has been widespread including residential apartments, row houses and commercial properties. Diversification has spread to encompass environmental friendly projects like the scenic location on the banks of the river Sal in Village Sirlim to a site in Canacona which is the southern most tip of Goa surrounded by virgin forests and exquisite coastline. The health resorts at Sulcorna Springs and Sirvoi are at locations that would revive even the most world weary amongst us.


One project that Costa's is understandably proud of is the restoration of Velhos Pacos Municipals or the old Margao Municipal building. A sprawling structure reminiscent of early Goan architecture. It was built in a particularly grand style, but the passage of time has not been kind to the structure. It was slated for demolition when Costa's stepped in and undertook the complete restoration of the building to it pristine grandeur. Today work is underfoot to save one of Goa's old legacies. When the restoration is complete the building will house an art gallery that will promote local artists in an appropriate setting. Velhos Pacos will also be Costa's Corporate headquarters.
